Combine Karate (Kyokushin) with Judo and you can have your own mma.

I love Jesse’s sense of humor.

Good sport that one is.

Well, you both could kick my butt, so both!

[isthiify]

That is kata, real contact karate is brutal. Who watches Karate Combat?😊

[__.anirudh.__]

Karate is used in MMA so there is no debate starting

[NimaandAidenthechefs]

If you know karate, judo and bjj, you’re literally unstoppable

Me karateka who sees this....The desire to fight 📈

[RobertoBren]

I laugh to myself every time I hear MMA referred to as if we're a style. MMA Stands for Mixed Martial Arts..it is by no means, way or definition a martial art style or system.
MMA was and is used to refer to tournaments that are not restricted to a single fighting style.
An MMA fighter could be trained in Boxing and TKD, or Judo and Sambo, or Ju-Jitsu and Shotokan etc. There is no syllabus, ranking system, grading, belts, requirements when it's a mix of martial arts except within each of the individual arts.
It's better and accurate to say you cross train in Judo and boxing for example, than it is to say you train MMA which by its very definition is an impossibility.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.👍🥋

[spooh]

karate is IN MMA
MMA = mixed martial arts

[jonathanjames]

Jesse... love your work. Being someone whom trained for years in Shotokan under the guidance of Mr. Oshima and Mr. Ono; I must say your fluidity and purpose in movement when performing Karate motions is exceptionally well co-ordinated and precise.

As an individual who grew up on the streets of Montréal and thrown into boxing the next day as a way of protecting myself from getting my teeth kicked in again, I have only one suggestion in regards to your journey of cross training.

(P.S. Thanks Dad for sending me to that boxing gym after I cried about not wanting to get beat up again.)

Pay close attention to your sense of gravity through the feet when you strike as a boxer. (keep working on connecting hips to shoulders and hips to feet.)

Note: Someone may be able to slip and defend against the boxing combo and in return either strike you where you are undefended or simply take a hold of you and throw.

Shotokan is about unarmed combat against multiple opponents. Boxing, Judo, Aiki Jutsu, Ba Gua, Hsing Yi, Wing Chun, Jeet Kun Do, Si Lat, Escreema, Capoeira, Thai Boxing...

Fail first to make success.

That ain't MMA, THAT'S BOXING 🥊

[ohmmygod]

It really depends...but from what I've experienced from Shotokan Karate so far, especially my Meeting with the Master which was BEYOND informative!
What I learned was that Form is Everything! He showed us how just a Tiny change in Posture, even just moviing 1 part of the body a couple Inches can change your Block or Attack from Weak, to Much Stronger than your "Body's Strength"...or with a Block, from falling apart to Withstanding the Toughest Blows...

I didn't ask him but I wouldn't be Surprised if he had a Degree in Something related to Bio-Mechanics! Because he really knows his Stuff! (Of course that should be a given when you are a 9th Dan Black Belt Master that studied under Canada's Karate GrandMaster).

It was inspiring and impressive to see! (I'm very happy to say I have a Sensei that is very much like him with the Bio-Mechanics and puts an emphasis on it...the only issue is that when I ask questions about Form so I don't learn bad habits or when I'm told to do something but can't go 100% fearing re-injury (within a Month of a Connective Tissue(s) Injury) and I'm always told to Basically "Shut Up and do it like I said and showed you" and looks annoyed at me and tells me "I don't know how to Express myself"...
Maybe it's a Bad Personality Match but his Knowledge and Teaching Methods are really good, so I'd like to stay with him...but I'm not sure what to do to make it enjoyable to be with him...not sure if he's annoyed because he spends the Class teaching a "Not Even White Belt Worthy" guy or if I'm doing something I shouldn't? I do ask a lot of questions and I'm not rushing my Heian Shodan like everyone else...I can't keep up with them if I want to have good form...

P.S: I haven't fully Learned the Heian Shodan yet which seems to annoy him, but my memory is rather bad and I'm starting to get it but I Focus mostly on my Form...

[ciaofficial]

we need a true karate contact sport, karate combat is kickboxing in gi

[winterace.]

Kyokushin (imagine if Muay Thai was Karate) will break your bones before you can hit him 🗿

[jamesrucker]

Karate is just one discipline, MMA is ALL of them. Be like water my friends

[sansdw]

karate is not what everyone thinks, we are not on that goofy pose while fighting, thats only our training

[u-law]

Foundationally MMA starts with a martial art, they should call it Bruce Lee because he said study everything.
